What we've been up to~

A little bit of this, and a little bit of that.

Well, actually A LOT of this~

picking....

visiting U-Pick farms~

and loading up to preserve the harvest~

Well, maybe we loaded up a little bit too much

on the jalepenos.

(I'll spare you the picture with my gloves on and 

a bandana covering my face...)

These are HOT~

We made three batches of salsa and

11 Quarts of Tomato Sauce

for starters~

And then roasted another batch to keep

in olive oil with spices~

And, I had picked up a 20 lb. box of apples

at the Farmer's market~

Oh, and in the middle of this,

we had our biggest egg,

which was a double yolk,

and our smallest~

cute, huh?

And, of course the kids are

still dog sitting on almost a

weekly basis.

This past week it was 2 sister black labs~

I've been line drying to make up for the cost

of running the dehydrator these days~

I DO love this time of year~
